Intro Olives SA Preso.Key From the south of France to Hackney: the introduction of the olive into South Australia Craig Hill. Liquid History and Michael Johnston, Olives SA Three questions • Why olives? • Horticultural experiment/acclimatisation • Not only olives: other exotic products • Why France? • Major source of all things ‘Mediterranean’ for the British • Why South Australia/Hackney? • Similar climate, topography, soils etc to Southern France • ‘Systematic settlement’ (Wakefield System linking land & labour): • ’Social experiment’; independent farmers, close settlement etc • Three ‘governments’: Colonial Government, Colonisation Commission, South Australian Company • Influential promoters of A&H esp citrus fruits, almonds, olives, silk, tobacco, flax By 1914, South Australia boasted about 100,000 productive olive trees, at least 5 commercial oil presses producing up to 100,000 litres of oil per year and an industry that some predicted would soon rival that of Mediterranean Europe! The first olives in South Australia 1836–1839 The first olive in South Australia, 1836 “ …in his reminiscences W.L. Beare, son of Thomas Hudson Beare, at the time second officer of the [South Australian] Company, stated that Charles Powell, gardener of the Company, planted fruit trees, olives and vine cuttings, nearly all of which grew; he also planted a mulberry tree on the island, which had come out on the Duke of York.” Arthur J Perkins, South Australia, An Agricultural and Pastoral State in the Making… ☛ The KI olive tree should be close to this historic mulberry tree Other olives, 1836–1837 • Early olive importations • John Morphett • Charles Everard • Captain John Hindmarsh • George Stevenson • …and possibly 3 others • Small number of trees, uncertain varieties/ quality • Stevenson’s Garden, North Adelaide 1881 Stevenson on olives The Olive is another tree well adapted for our climate, and in respect of soil, the sunny slopes of our hills are admirably suited to its natural habits… You all know the mercantile uses to which the olive is applied, the delicacy and value of its oil, and its use or abuse as a pickle. In a few years it is probable that it may be cultivated here to some extent; but at present I have detained you at sufficient length on what is certainly a tree that we can only plant for our children to gather fruit from. George Stevenson, Lecture to the Adelaide Mechanics’ Institute, reprinted in The South Australian Register…, 16 November 1839 [‘A few and favoured parts only of the globe can grow the olive ... those parts that can should grow the olive. South Australia can, therefore South Australia should grow it.’ Samuel Davenport, The South Australian Register, 1875] “about ten olive trees in the Colony” Dec1843 John Bailey and The Hackney Garden 1844–1858+ John Bailey • 1801–1864 • 1815–1838: horticulturist/botanist; Loddiges’ Nursery, Hackney (UK) Loddiges’ Botanic Nursery Garden, Hackney (UK) • Site founded in 1740s by Johann Busch • 1787–1816: Conrad Loddiges & Sons: Loddiges’ Paradise Field Nursery • 1816–1849: [Loddiges’] Hackney Botanic Nursery Garden: • Scientific approach to horticulture (including classification) • Specialised in importing (exotic species) & exporting plants (especially productive plants); reputation for packing plants for export • Imperial horticulture: acclimatisation • Experimental glass- and hot-houses; palms, ferns, orchids, etc; Wardian cases John Bailey • 1801–1864 • 1815–1838: horticulturist/botanist; Loddiges’ Nursery, Hackney (UK) • 1839: emigrated with family and staff to South Australia on Buckinghamshire, ; sponsored by South Australian Company and Loddiges • Introduced 6 olive seedlings etc • May 1839: appointed Colonial Botanist [responsible for ‘botanic gardens’] Bailey and the South Australian Company Bailey and the South Australian Company Bailey in Adelaide • 1839: Hindley Street?

  • Place Names of South Australia: W
    W Some of our names have apparently been given to the places by drunken bushmen andfrom our scrupulosity in interfering with the liberty of the subject, an inflection of no light character has to be borne by those who come after them. SheaoakLog ispassable... as it has an interesting historical association connectedwith it. But what shall we say for Skillogolee Creek? Are we ever to be reminded of thin gruel days at Dotheboy’s Hall or the parish poor house. (Register, 7 October 1861, page 3c) Wabricoola - A property North -East of Black Rock; see pastoral lease no. 1634. Waddikee - A town, 32 km South-West of Kimba, proclaimed on 14 July 1927, took its name from the adjacent well and rock called wadiki where J.C. Darke was killed by Aborigines on 24 October 1844. Waddikee School opened in 1942 and closed in 1945. Aboriginal for ‘wattle’.

  • Rethinking Modern Architecture – Caroline Cosgrove
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Flinders Academic Commons Rethinking Modern Architecture – Caroline Cosgrove Rethinking Modern Architecture: HASSELL’s Contribution to the Transformation of Adelaide’s Twentieth Century Urban Landscape Caroline Cosgrove Abstract There has been considerable academic, professional and community interest in South Australia’s nineteenth century built heritage, but less in that of the state’s twentieth century. Now that the twenty-first century is in its second decade, it is timely to attempt to gain a clearer historical perspective on the twentieth century and its buildings. The architectural practice HASSELL, which originated in South Australia in 1917, has established itself nationally and internationally and has received national peer recognition, as well as recognition in the published literature for its industrial architecture, its education, airport, court, sporting, commercial and performing arts buildings, and the well-known Adelaide Festival Centre. However, architectural historians have generally overlooked the practice’s broader role in the development of modern architecture until recently, with the acknowledgement of its post-war industrial work.1 This paper explores HASSELL’s contribution to the development of modern architecture in South Australia within the context of growth and development in the twentieth century. It examines the need for such studies in light of heritage considerations and presents an overview of the firm’s involvement in transforming the urban landscape in the city and suburbs of Adelaide. Examples are given of HASSELL’s mid-twentieth century industrial, educational and commercial buildings. This paper has been peer reviewed 56 FJHP – Volume 27 ‐2011 Figure 1: Adelaide’s urban landscape with the Festival Centre in the middle distance.
